Joann Fabric in Gainesville Florida is About to Close
I’ll write details of my last visit at a later time, but for now: I’m mad. Joann execs threw in the towel and made money from their business mistakes. Then the liquidator ran the worst store liquidation ever. They had no idea how to sell these products, and they screwed over its loyal customers.
No one knew the end date, not even workers (not really). I went to the store one last time to see if they had finally lowered prices, only to find the store completely empty and closed.
WTF?
These photos are from my trip to the Gainesville, Florida, location, on May 10, 2025.
To the workers who happen to find these photos: You will be missed. Your store will be missed. I’m so sorry Joann corporate treated you like garbage. You deserved better.
Overall…
So much to say, but for now, just photos.
